Robin Wood, well known for his books \u003ci\u003eHollywood from Vietnam to Reagan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHitchcock's Films Revisited, \u003c\/i\u003e probes the political and sexual ramifications of fascism and cinema, marriage and the couple, romantic love, and representations of women, race, and gender in contemporary films from the United States, Europe, and Japan. He looks closely at the works of Leo McCarey and Jacques Rivette, Ozu's \"Noriko Trilogy,\" and the recent Generation X films \u003ci\u003eBefore Sunrise\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Doom Generation.\u003c\/i\u003e In a chapter on fascism and cinema that juxtaposes Leni Riefenstahl's \u003ci\u003eTriumph of the Will\u003c\/i\u003e and Alain Resnais's \u003ci\u003eNight and Fog, \u003c\/i\u003e Wood finds that what is most important is not these films' record of another time and place but \"the light they can throw on our contemporary cultural situation.\" Wood's central concern in these chapters is the ways in which the films relate to sexual politics and the organization within our culture of gender and sexuality. Seeing humanity as a \"battleground\" of a struggle between forces for Life and those of Death, Wood holds out hope for a joining of the forces of feminism, antiracism, lesbian and gay rights, and environmentalism necessary for authentic movement toward liberation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobin Wood, recently retired as professor of film studies at Atkinson College, York University, Canada, is the author of \u003ci\u003eHollywood from Vietnam to Reagan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHitchcock's Films Revisited\u003c\/i\u003e (both Columbia).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 8.96 x 6.03 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 05, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52711172342067,"sku":"9780231076050","price":71.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/u_X79p9Zy79780231076050.webp?v=1763510282","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/sexual-politics-and-narrative-film-hollywood-and-beyond-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
